ELECTRONIC
RUST PROTECTION WITH RUST-GARD
Rust-Gard is a scientifically proven electronic
corrosion prevention system, designed specifically
for today's cars, 4WD's and SUV's. The installation
and correction operation of Rust-Gard will
reduce the occurrence of corrosion in and
on automobile sheet metal.
Rust-Gard uses a Patent Pending method of
operation called Pulsed Current design.
The active principle that delivers Rust-Gard's
impressive results is a high-frequency impressed
direct current charge to the entire automobile's
metal frame work and surface. Once installed
Rust-Gard delivers this charge many times
a second for a pro-determined period of
time, forming a protective coating of excess
electrons. It is this coating which lessens
the destructive oxidation and corrosion
of your cars metals.

Each automobile today has approximately
3,000 welds that unite the metal fabrication
together. Welds and their immediate vicinity
are the areas most vulnerable - and are
the areas hardest to protect with conventional
rust-proofing treatments. Electronic Rust
Protection is the only practical method
to protect all the continuous metal throughout
your car, including the inner cavities.
Through innovative design, Electronic Rust
Protection works especially well in humid
and harsh environments - the times when
your automobile will need it most. Electronic
Rust Protection has been manufactured to
reduce rust and corrosion from both the
outside and inside of your car.
UNDERSTANDING CORROSION
Rust is the result of the corrosion of iron
and steel. Iron is produced from iron ore.
Iron is created by heating iron ore and
steel is produced by combining iron ore,
carbon and other selected metal alloys.
Iron has a tendency to return to its natural
form of iron oxide or rust.
To understand how rust is created, a comparison
to the chemical reaction in a battery makes
it easier to understand:
In a battery, there is a carbon rod in the
center which is called the cathode. It is
surrounded by a zinc case called the anode.
When a wire is connected to the outside
of the battery through the two terminals,
current flows between two metals through
an electrolyte (electricity conducting paste).
Not only does current flow from the zinc
case to the carbon pole, but Iso particles
of zinc are eaten away (corroded) and deposited
on the carbon pole, through molecular movement.
A similar occurrence happens on your cars
metal surfaces, here miniature "batteries"
are formed all over by:
-
1. Two
different metals near or touching one
another, including seam welds.
-
2. Impurities
on a sheet of metal causing localized
areas of differing electrical potentials
all over the surface of the sheet metal.
-
3. Different
concentrations of oxygen over areas
of the same metal, causing localized
areas of differing electrical potentials
all over the surface.
In order for "batteries" to operate they
must have an electrolyte. Water is a suitable
electrolyte - even humid air will work.
If the moisture contains acids (usually
from air pollution or salt from the ocean
or mad) the electrolyte conducts electricity
very efficiently, speeding I he corrosion
process. An automobile is exposed to these
conditions through:

Rust-Gard uses a microprocessor controlled
circuit to generate a negative electrical
charge to your cars grounded body panels
which in turn inhibits the forming of rust.
Unlike conventional rust-proofing that is
sprayed onto the underbody of your car,
Electronic Rust Protection protects all
continuous metal panels throughout the car.
Rust-Gard is particularly effective in reducing
rust and corrosion formed when the underbody
of your car receives nicks and cuts to the
vehicle manufacturers own body sealant,
during the course of its normal life.
A properly cared for car with no rust will
achieve a far higher resale or lease-end
value than a well-cared for car that exhibits
signs of rust. Your vehicle is typically
your second highest life investment.
